Hi,
I have been a RN for 9 years, it'll be 10 in May. I recently returned back to my passion Labor and Delivery. I am working PRN mostly on night shift. I have worked in different areas since I started, Immediate care unit/PEDS, Post-Partum/Nursery, LTC-office nursing/ADON/DON. I decided I no longer wanted to be in administration so I returned to my passion L&D. Prior to joing MFP, I have steadily gained weight and have tried many different diets. I decided that it is now time for me to practice what I preach to patients and I am ready to make better choices regarding my health. I am ready to be better and feel better.

Hello,
I am a 36 year old who has been a nurse for 5 years. I was a Certified Medical Assistant prior. I only worked in Med surg for 2 months and have been working in a Hospice general inpt unit ever since. LOVE IT. It can be stressful. Orginially I worked 3-1130 5 days a week. Last Novemeber we proposed 12 1/2 hours and it was approved. I do like it better but with 4 kids it is challeging. My husband works a different shift in winter and is on call everyday. I do hate that I don't have energy to work out the days I work. When I started I was one of the younger nurses, not anymore I feel old, tired and fat.....LOL We do have a unique bond, we take care of others, now we should take care of ourselves.

Hi my name is Jamilah. I am a Labor & Delivery nurse looking to lose about 50 lbs with a workout partner to stay motivated. I currently reside in the Oak Lawn area with my fiancé and no kids just my Maltese, Winter. Add me to start the journey to fabulously fit!!!!!!!!!!

I'm new to MFP. I've been a nurse for about 9 years...ICU and cath lab/ IR lab. I more recently started as nursing supervision too. So keeping up with two boys, 5&1, is kicking my butt! And making it grow! I'm thankful for the support!

Hello fellow nurses!

I am Jennifer, been a registered nurse for little over 6 years & work in a rehab facility that I absolutely love! I am pretty new to MFP but am dedicated to losing weight and lifestyle changes. Currently live in MN...wishing I was somewhere warmer. Feel free to add me as I love new friends for support!

Hey so my name is Bethany and I'm an Emergency Department Charge Nurse on nights. I've been an RN for 3 years, all ED. I got up to 210 during nursing school, got down to 170 and then was hospitalized for an anaphylaxis and placed on steriods for several weeks and gained a signifcant amount of weight. And my previous post was meant for Tzziporah!

Hi all! I have been an RN since 1995. I am currently a Hep C Treatment Nurse, before I managed an HIV clinic. I have worked at a fam doc office and worked for 10 years in a hospital before that.

I love my job but it can be quite demanding and time consuming. I am basically "on call" all the time next to my full time job.
I am mom to 2 wonderful teenage boys and wife to a lovely husband who works way to hard as well having his own business.

Last month I decided I should try to fit in a little "me" time. My weight has been creeping up ever since I started nursing school and I still have not lost my pregnancy weight...lol (need to lose at least 66lbs, and that would still put me in the "overweight" category)
I try to eat healthy and fit in a workout every day. Started 30DS 9 days ago and already seeing a difference!

I always tell my patients they need to take care of themselves in order to be able to take care of someone else.

Let's see if I can live up to my own advice.

Hi fellow RNs! My name is Ebony. I've been a NICU- RN for 5 years now. I started out working night-shift but switched to days almost a year ago. I felt the need to make the big change largely due to health reasons. My constant lack of sleep was making me a very grumpy individual and started to effect my blood pressure :noway: After coming to days, I still battle with making healthy choices because we have way more pitch-ins than the night shift ladies (I just need to stay away from the breakroom:laugh: ) luckily on my off days, I tend do really well.

I'm just taking things one day at a time!

Hi everyone!

I'm Jessica, I'm a critical care RN in a very high acuity ICU. I've been there 3 years. I'm a weekender, typically doing night shift...then I transition to day schedule to care for my 1-year old daughter during the week. I'm working at eating clean, whole foods. My ultimate goal is to transition to a vegan diet, but taking baby steps to a healthier lifestyle. My exercise plan is running and Turbo Fire. As you all know, with this kind of shift and all the frequent flip-flopping schedules, topped with the incredibly high stress at work and not as much sleep as I should be getting, as well as family strain with me working weekends (I miss my husband!!)....well, this weight loss thing is an uphill battle.

Looking for MFP friends to help keep each other motivated. Feel free to add me if that sounds like you!
